Why did all those lessons about peer pressure elude me today?
What happened after I logged out...
So I see that miss Verizon salesgirl is not helping anyone so I log off of the computer ready to boldly *cough* approach her...
As it was nearing 5pm (closing time for her), she starts to put all the demo phones and stuff away in a cabinet below the counter...
Staring at her tattoo as she's now crouched down in front of the open cabinet I start my approach. (mind you, at this point I have no friggin idea of what I'm gonna say)
She quickly turns her head up toward me, which kinda startled me, and sez, "hey, hand me those ad signs and the clipboard over by the computer, will ya."
So like a little schoolboy I obey. I grab all the cardboard ad thingies, but cant seem to find the clipboard...
While still crouched down, she goes, "it's right on the counter next to my calculator..."
My eyes are now frantically looking back and forth around the counter trying to find this Where's Waldo clipboard...Now the thought of, "she's gonna think I'm an idiot when she finds it right in plain view..."
Seconds seem like an eternity...
She stands up... Looks around with a puzzled expression...Looks back into the cabinet (I again get to see her tattoo) and goes, "oh, my bad (giggle) I never even took it out today (giggle)"
In a moment of reckless bravery I grab the calculator (even though she never asked for it, but at that point I just needed something else to hand to her...It could have been a ticking hand grenade for all I care, I just needed some excuse to approach her again) and bend over next to her...
She goes, "what's this?"
I go, "uh, would you......"
She cuts me off in mid flight.....saying...
but in a nice voice... "your gonna ask me out...arent you..."
Every friggin pore on my head opened up simultaneously.
I look down and go, "well...and if I did?" (I actually thought that was a good response...I mean with all the pressure and all..)
She goes, "sorry, but I'm married"
I kinda give the "yeah, right" look...
Then she shows me this thing around her wrist like a keychain with a pic of a guy and a kid...
I go, "well, at least I know your not saying just to.."
She gives this big grin and sez, "nahhh...dont feel bad...you're do-able.."
DO-ABLE????
What the hell is that?
Isnt that what we say about ugly chicks?
"Er, she's homely and all, but what the heck...she's do-able.."
Hmph...
But actually, at that moment I took it as a compliment (easy to please, you know)...
And I even got a little adrenaline rush...
I stood promptly up and quickly made an exit...
I could hear her saying "thanks, bye"...
I was walking away (almost skipping) and spun around to wave back at her...
Gawd..at that moment she looked rather freaking hawt as she smiled at me..
I spun back around and with just a reflex action swatted at a kids ballon that was about a foot from my face...
As soon as I hit the balloon I realized that there must be a kid attached to it at the other end of the string!! ****!!
Well, next worse...it was attached to the kid's mom's purse strap...They were sitting on a bench... I immediately grabbed the balloon and said, "oh, sorry, sorry..."
I quickly turned back to verizon queen and she had her hands over her mouth laughing at me!
Either she thought that was really cute or she was utterly entertained by this idiot...
And I'm never going back to that mall again...
